French influence seems to have at length P r edoiLirlated, and the: choice of BERNADOTTE, as heir to the Swedish Throne,. appears to be no longer tioubtful. Sweden will therefore become a?mere province of France, governed by a Prefect with the titl e of King. We haveextracted from the Swedish Papers, for th e amusement orour Readers, a most fulsome pa- Ile gYric upon BI3RNADOTTE, in which-he is described 45 a hero, a statesman, a conqueror, a philailt/zropist, th e guordinn angel of Hanover, &c. . • The object of the journey of GusTAvus to the N 'orth (and which has been dis . appointed by his tie ing compelled to return), is stated to ~ have been to Preserve the succession to the Throne of Sweden for his son.

We give in THE SUN of this day copious extraEts "it the .Freuch intercepted dispatchts, to which Ve alluded Vesterday. These. dispatches are of a tE rY interesting and important nature, and seem to ex hibit decisive proofs not only of the inability of lit French to effect the conquest of the Peninsula, aft er all BTJONAPARTE'S threats and vauntings, but hot he will s(un perhaps be under the, necessity of Ildoning all attempts to bring it under his yoke . appears that BITObjAPARTE has nearly. xhausted is o %n treasury, in sending supplies to Spain, and gat JOSEPH. is unable to carry on the war without a Nu. '9uance of those supplies. BL'ONAPARTE bit ted Y ''' , '-proaches the agents of the- Usurper, fur not 'iq g ' nwie sufficient use of the resources of the i h °lllltr Y, and of having been too conciliating 'towards Spaniards.
